Watch Out for Those Diaper Bombs

I must really be screwed up.  I say this because it is really strange to me that Muslims can wear attire that only reveals their eyes and you really don't know if there is a man or woman under there, but an elderly woman can't wear an adult diaper.  How many Muslims have blown things up and killed people?  How many little old ladies have blown things up and killed people?  If there are some little old ladies going around blowing things up with diaper bombs, then the press and the government are covering it up!

A Successful Media Campaign by CNN

Well, you manged it!  You just wouldn't let up on Congressman Wiener until he resigned.  Congratulations, but where were you when Congressmen were caught having sex with 17 year old pages?  I Guess thats just not severe enough to require a resignation.  Let's see where you are on the next sex scandal that occurs in congress.

US Economy

A recent news item aired that described the room at Treasury where the daily borrowing of trillions takes place.  This was a scary report which indicated that if the debt ceiling is not raised, we will be bankrupt by August.  This is late June and as we all know our good and faithful congress takes almost two years to establish a federal budget.  So if they are working on this issued now as I am sure they are, at the rate they do business, we will go bankrupt and they will still be trying to figure out what to do.

What was more scary was who is lending us the money.  China, a communist country, a political philosophy that we spend millions in dollars and thousands in lives to abolish so that democracy can prevail.  How can we try to impose democracy on others in the world when we are selling ours to communist interest?

Troop Withdrawal and the Economy

Now that Bin Laden is dead there is a big push to bring the troops home.  It is a good idea to bring the troops home from Afghanistan but the Pentagon should be considering bringing our troops home from all deployments.  If our care about nothing/do nothing congress doesn't do something about the economy and the national debt, our country stands a good chance of going bankrupt in August.  If this happens, we may not have the money to bring our troops home.  Our troops could be cut off in foreign countries with no future pay checks, no future supplies and no future support.  How many of them do you think will die if that happens?  What will happen to their families?

Americans seem to think that things like this could never happen to this big powerful country but they just don't realize the danger we face with the economy and national debt.

Palin's Emails

My grandfather always said if you had skeletins in your closet and didn't know about them, just run for political office and you will find them all.  News reporters will spend thousands to find your skeletins for you.  Todays example, Sara Palin's Emails.  Reporters, before you start throwing stones, you had better check your own emails and delete those that may humiliate you.  Ok, Sara wanted a tanning bed in the Governor's Mansion.  So what, who cares, it's not like she can go to the local tanning salon without the press waiting out front to ask her why she wants a tan.  It's not her personal tanning bed, it would belong to the people of Alaska.  People are dieing in the world, very bad things are happening in the world, thats what you should be reporting.  You need to change your priorities!

Do Politicians Ever Not Lie When Cought in the Wrong

CNN Reporters will not let the story of Congressman Weiner's photo scandal go. Did Mark Foley admit to the accusations made against him from the start?  Did Dan Crane admit to having sex with a 17 year old page from the start?  Did Gerry Studds admit to having sex with a page from the start?  CNN Reporters, you are apparently being urged by political interest to continue this story until Weiner resigns.  If you continue this march, you will be sending a message that it's ok to have sex with underaged pages because you get to keep your job. However, you better not send nude photos over the internet or we will come get you. Find a more interesting story to report!

Question for CNN

Didn't anyone get killed in a war or polical uprising today?  Did no one starve to death?  Did no children get abused? Were there no horrific accidents anywhere in the world?  Apparently this newsworthy stuff just stopped today.  I say this because the major stories you are reporting are Sara Palin's E-mails and Congressman Weiners sending lewd photos and lieing about it. You CNN reporters need to find more important and more interesting stories to report!

MBA Verses Medical Degree

This comment is not the result of a news story but a personal experience.  I recently had to go to the emergency room with an abdominal problem.  During that visit a CT scan was administered which diagnosed my problem and the problem was treated and resolved.  However, after reading the CT scan the Radiologist discovered small spots on the bottom of my right lung and recommended another CT scan of my chest to determine if I have a more serious problem with my lungs.  I made an appointment with my primary physician to schedule the CT scan, only to find out that my primary physician could not provide the referral without first obtaining permission from my insurance company.  Since when does an MBA managing an insurance company know more about a person's health and the care he/she needs than a Medical Doctor?  This puts me in the position of having to trust a non Medical Doctor with my health and maybe my life.  I thought Obama Care was supposed the do away with this kind of influence over the Medical Doctor's practice.

Temporay Insanity

Since a judge has ruled that you can purchase temporary insanity from your local convenience store, the FDA should be pulling power drinks off the shelf so no more fathers are murdered by their sons.  When are people going to start taking responsibility for their actions rather than blaming something or someone else for them.  Better still, when is society going to start holding them responsible.  Doesn't the judge know that he sets a president where every Tom, Dick and Harry who does something wrong can blame it on Redbull.

Sexting verses actual sex.

In 1983 two congressmen were censured for having sex with a 17 year old Congressional Page.  There was a call by members to expel them from office but the final outcome was censure.  In 2006 a congressman was investigated for sending sexually related emails to former pages and the final outcome was his resignation.  Now a congressman is being investigated for having sexually related conversations and photo exchanges with women through a social network.  He will not resign so there is a push to expel him.  In my opinion all should be expelled but the more likely outcome will be dictated by the opinions of the press and who they are.  However, the message this conveys  is that it is OK for a public figure to actually have sex but he better think twice before doing something online.  The reality of the matter is that the outcome of all these events are politically driven.  In 1983 the members had sufficient friends and influence in congress to save their careers.  In 2006, the congressman lacked those friends and influence.  Now, I believe the congressman has enemies that have found a way to get him out of congress and are using this event as the weapon.  The point to be made here is that all should be treated the same, punishment should be the same for all.  Either censure or expulsion.  We all know that there will similar events in the future and congress needs to decide now that all cases will be handled the same and no one gets special treatment because he is rich, powerful or has friends in high places.

Does the Government really want Americans to use less gas?

I don't believe they do.  It is not in their interest for us to use less gas.  Each gallon of gas purchased creates a tax revenue for the government.  If they really did want us to use less, they would take simple steps to help us reduce our consumption.  An example is the simple matter of synchronizing traffic signals so that we can move along smoothly with out stopping at every traffic signal.  In my area I spend up to a minute sitting at a traffic signal waiting, while the next signal up ahead is green, only to have that signal turn red when the signal I'm currently waiting for, turns green.  Again signals at streets that cross one another, allow traffic to fill the intersection so that when the signal finally changes so that I can go, I still have to wait another 30 to 40 seconds until the traffic clears the intersection.  This is poor management by Government Officials who are responsible for traffic patterns.  In Europe there are cities that have synchronized traffic signals and changing signs that inform the driver to drive a certain speed and the signal will in most cases be green and allow him to continue through the city without stopping.  Similar systems in the US could save a lot of gas but it would cost the Government money to install them plus they would lose gas tax revenue.  Could this mean there is really no shortage of gas?
